3 Not given to wine, no striker, not greedy of filthy lucre; but patient, not a brawler, not covetous;

5 (For if a man know not how to rule his own house, how shall he take care of the church of God?)

MFM Devotional For Today 2025 MESSAGE:
Today’s memory verse admonishes parents to train their children in the way they should go; that is, the way of the Lord. But it is unfortunate that parents are rearing their children today, instead of training them. Animals are reared while children are supposed to be trained. In many homes, fathers who are supposed to train his three-year-old son to read and study the Bible do not even study theirs.

Many parents even go to church without taking their children along with them. Many allow their children to attend churches different from theirs. This has led to the confusion and moral degradation among the youths of today who lack godly parent models to look up to.
As a Christian parent, you should teach and train your child to do everything the Lord commanded in the Bible. For instance, when you train your child to wake up by himself to pray before family devotion, you would not have problem with such a child during family devotion or when he or she finally leaves home for college. And such a child would not depart from the training when he or she has grown up.
Training our children is a commandment from the Lord and every parent will be held accountable by God. Train your children to follow and obey God’s laws and commandments; train them to memorise the word of God; train them to do house chores like washing the plates without the assistant of the maid, train them to fold the cloth while you iron them, train him to wash his socks while you wash the uniform, train them to hold personal vigil while you are holding yours, train them to go with you for morning evangelism and ask them to do the preaching after sometime.
When you do this, you will make the path of life known to them. The Lord will bless your children and make them great; He will be able to trust you with life’s secrets, and will be confident to say of you, like he said of Abraham, “For I know him, that he will command his children and his household after him, and they shall keep the way of the Lord” (Genesis 18:19).
Would you be spoken of by the Lord as someone who knows how to rule his own house?
